Bauzy walks

Bauzy, a pretty village with Sologne characteristics, invites you to discover its paths and its secret heritage: manor houses, large stately homes and small châteaux.

Neuvy, at the gates of the Domaine de Chambord, lies in the heart of the Boulogne Forest. This is a great walk for families to observe the large animals of the forest and the many birds on the Étang de Montperché lake.

In the heart of the "wine-growing" region of Sologne, this route is mainly through forest, dotted with numerous ponds and offering some beautiful heritage sites.

The route offers a glimpse of the architectural and natural riches of the commune of Courmemin, and more broadly of the Sologne region: half-timbered houses in the village, Sologne farms, deciduous and coniferous forests, and numerous ponds.

The highlight of this walk is the magnificent Château du Mesnil, an exceptional site thanks to the beauty of its buildings, which watch over the Muids forest in the heart of the Sologne region. The path crosses a wide variety of landscapes: plains, oak and pine forests, and birch forests. The hike ends in the territory of a commune that no longer exists: La Motte Bonneville.

This walk in the grounds of Chambord begins by approaching the château along the left bank of the Cosson, continues along a small path winding through the forest and finally returns to the starting point via the right bank of the Cosson and the Pont Saint-Michel, offering a final, unforgettable view of the château.

This beautiful hike begins with an approach to the Château de Chambord along the left bank of the Cosson, then leaves the Chambord park to join the Chaussée le Compte before returning to it. The route offers beautiful views of one of the most beautiful châteaux in the Loire Valley, while winding its way through cultivated fields, woods and the vegetation associated with the Cosson, known as "ripisylve".

Like many villages in the Sologne region, Crouy-sur-Cosson combines forest landscapes, ponds and architectural heritage. The first part of the walk takes place on wide paths on the edge or in the heart of the forest; the second part is more varied, dotted with ponds, the Cosson river, grassy paths and hamlets.

This circular route offers varied landscapes, sometimes crossing the "Cheverny" vineyard, sometimes following the banks of the Cosson. It provides a feeling of well-being along the high walls covered with vegetation that surround the grounds of the Château de Saumery.

La Ferté-Saint-Cyr has preserved its many communal paths, all of which are marked and mostly protected from motorised vehicles. This circular route takes you along a variety of paths, skirting meadows, woods and ponds, before entering the heart of the forest, an ideal place for wildlife watching. The unique feature of this circular route is that it crosses the Cosson river twice, first via a narrow bridge and then via the Gué du Moulin Lauray ford; as you can imagine, you will need to take off your shoes.

La Marolle-en-Sologne, a Sologne village with its landscapes of forests, ponds and châteaux, combines historical heritage and game-rich lands. The route passes by the 18th-century Château de la Giraudière and the village of Villeny with its brick and timber houses. The return journey is via theGR® de Pays de Sologne.

During this walk, you will see numerous ponds that are bird sanctuaries (herons, ducks, etc.), the Veillas stream and its fords, the typical brick castle of Les Rhuys, and perhaps large wild animals in this region of Sologne, which is rich in game.

Forests and ponds stretch out around La Ferté-Saint-Cyr, a typical village in the wooded and game-rich Sologne region, which has preserved its vast network of communal paths.

A beautiful walk that begins on wide, well-maintained paths and then enters the heart of the Sologne region via wilder, less frequented paths.

The route is varied, sometimes overlooking the Loire or running along its banks, sometimes taking forest paths or paths through fields. A superb opportunity to get some fresh air and relax while reliving a page of history.

The commune of Ligny-le-Ribault, which has preserved many communal paths, offers this magnificent hike in the Sologne region of ponds, home to deer, roe deer and wild boar.
